SECTION I GENERAL 1-1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this technical order is to standardize the painting and marking conf iguration of exterior surfaces of all Air Force aircraf t. In the event of conf lict between a specif ic system/equipment Technical Order (TO) and a general TO, the system/equipment TO will take precedence. Conf licting instructions between any two TOs that compromise personnel safety or procedural guidance will be resolved by local commanders and reported for formal resolution by responsible authority. Also prescribed are the limited internal markings that are common among the Air Force aircraf t (see applicable weapons system’s handbook for peculiar markings). Only the types and colors of paints, coatings, f inishes, insignia and markings specif ied herein will be used on USAF aircraf t. (See AFR 66-34/AFI 21-105 and paragraph 1-6 this TO on procedures to propose changes to either the standard paint schemes or markings.) NOTE For operational purposes of this document. System Program Director (SPD) in this TO includes all players of the Intergrated Weapon System Management concept of ‘‘cradle to grave’’ system maintenance.

This term does not include any of the markings or insignia usually applied over the f inal top coating or f inish. (See Section II.) b. Air Force Standard Camouf lage Finish. Refers to the vari-colored and/or irregular shaped exterior pattern approved for the camouf lage painting of designated aircraf t. The colors and

patterns used are generally determined by the geographical region of the world in which aircraf t are to operate and/or the operational role of the aircraf t. This term does not include any of the markings or insignia usually applied over the f inal top coating or f inish. (See Section V.) c. Special Purpose Exterior Finish. Refers to f inal coatings and approved paints or lacquers applied to specif ic portions of aircraf t exteriors to provide for special needs. (See Section II.) d. USAF Standard Markings.

Special purpose markings are varied in type and usage. They include various insignia, emblems, and symbols, whose need may vary with the differences in weapon system conf iguration and other pertinent circumstances. (See Section IV.) f. Aircraf t Unit Identif ication Markings. Alphabetic letter, numerical digits, or combinations of both, that may be displayed on both sides of vertical f ins of designated combat and combat support aircraf t primarily to allow ready air-to-air recognition. The use of these markings is rigidly controlled and their indiscriminate or arbitrary use is prohibited. (See Section III and IV.) g. Tubing, Hose and Pipe Markings. Those colors, symbols and legends installed on aircraf t tubing, hoses, pipe and rigid electrical conduit to identify the function, content, hazard or direction of f low.

SECTION II STANDARD EXTERIOR FINISHES FOR USAF AIRCRAFT 2-1. METAL EXTERIOR FINISHES. Metal exterior surtaces of all (see policy guidelines in paragraph 2-2 below) Air Force aircraf t other than those made of titanium and corrosion resistant steels, require surface protection from the effects of corrosion and therefore will be painted in accordance with the provisions of this technical order. a. Titanium or Steel. Since titanium or corrosion-resistant steels, when used, make up only a part of the total aircraf t exterior surface, they will also be painted with the same f inishes as the adjacent metals, providing temperatures permit. NOTE Do not paint any equipment where the application of paint will deter its operational capabilities (antenna, radomes, etc.) b. Treatment of Metal Exteriors. The treatment of metal exteriors for corrosion control are specif ied in TO 1-1-691. The proper preparation of surfaces for painting, priming and application of f inish coatings are specif ied in TO 1-1-8. In addition to protective f inishes, regular scheduled surface washing and cleaning in accordance with TO 11-691 will minimize the probability of corrosion. Some surfaces will require additional surface protection and will be specif ied further in this section. 2-2. POLICY GUIDANCE. It is a general policy (AFR 66-34/AFI 21-105) that all Air Force aircraf t will be painted as a prime means of corrosion protection and prevention. Inherent in this policy is the responsibility to preserve a professional paint appearance as an integral part of a well-managed corrosion control program (AFR 400-44/AFI 21-105). The requirement to paint, however, must be tempered with good judgement and in consideration of funds availability. It is not intended that crash programs be established for the prompt painting of aircraf t. Aircraf t will be painted in accordance with a service life plan unless there is an over-riding operational requirement as determined by HQ USAF/XOO. Aircraf t should be scheduled for painting with due regard for other scheduled maintenance and funding. Aircraf t are not to be painted unless they are programmed for retention in the active inventory for at least two years af ter painting. Aircraf t will receive maintenance painting to

preserve coating integrity. The following criteria will apply in programming aircraf t for painting. a. Aircraf t determined to have a sound paint system already applied will not be repainted solely to incorporate color, improve appearance or material changes to the standard paint system and color scheme as listed herein. When it is necessary to perform maintenance on such aircraf t with former standard or non-standard paint (unless deteriorated to the extent that complete replacement is required), use like or same type material as originally applied for maintenance painting purposes. For new aircraf t entering the inventory or for aircraf t requiring repainting the cognizant engineering authority within AFMC in conjunction with the major operating commands will evaluate all available technical, engineering and historical evidence to determine the appropriate corrosion protection and prevention system (type coating, color schemes, service life criteria, etc) for each weapon system. A coordinated paint/ repaint plan will be developed and kept current for each weapon system. This plan may be based on a weighted Paint Program inspection and evaluation procedure, calender time/severity zone criteria, or other approved technique. All aircraf t under Tables 1-1 and 1-2 of T.O. 00-25-4 will be inspected prior to (if possible) and/or during PDM for condition of the paint. The purpose of the inspection will be to determine if the aircraf t should be repainted or touched-up. (1) In determining requirements for sectional overcoating, total overcoating, or strip and repaint, the following general technical criteria should be considered in the development of the approved weapon system paint plan. (a) Sectional or total overcoat if paint is oxidized, discolored, stained, chipped, scratched or peeled from primer and the primer is adhering soundly to the aircraf t. If this condition is extensive, complete overcoating of the aircraf t or section is preferred over spot maintenance painting. (b) Strip/repaint if the following defects or combination of them exist: areas which have been overcoated (primer plus topcoat) at least three times, primer is not adhering to base metal, or the paint system is peeled to base metal.

2-1


TO 1-1-4

(2) When applying the above criteria to determine painting requirements and a combination of defects for overcoating and strip and repaint exists, the following general economic guidelines should be considered in the development of the approved weapon system paint plan. (a) When determining sectional or total aircraf t overcoating and a combination of defects exist, overcoating may be accomplished if time or manhour requirements for surface preparation (mask, sand, and clean) do not exceed 70% of the time or manhours required for complete strip/ repaint. (b) Sectional stripping may be required, as determined by deteriorated areas, on an aircraf t designated to be completely overcoated. Complete overcoating with prior sectional stripping may be accomplished if the combined time or manhours for sectional stripping and surface preparation for overcoat do not exceed 70% of the time required for complete strip/repaint. (c) Complete strip/repaint should be accomplished in lieu overcoating whenever time or manhour requirements for masking, sanding, and cleaning for total or sectional overcoating exceed 70% of those to accomplish strip/re-paint. (3) In the absence of an approved tailored weapon system paint plan the above criteria will apply to all aircraf t. NOTE For purposes of planning facility requirements, the expected paint system average life before the need for strip/repaint is: High gloss - 8 years Flat (unsheltered) - 6 years Flat (sheltered) - 8 years

. .

2-2

This assumes good maintenance of coating system and complete overcoat at approximately the mid-life point. For the purpose of mission change or other reassignment of aircraf t with sound coating systems for which the existing coating or markings are inappropriate, the major command shall

overspray the existing paint system in accordance with T.O. 1-1-8. b. Maintenance Painting. Maintenance painting procedures will not be used if there is any indication of a major failure of the aircraf t paint system. Operational environment and life expectancy of the paint system will be considered in making this determination. If major failure of the paint system is evident, complete repaint should be scheduled promptly. NOTE Table I and II (T.O. 00-25-4) aircraf t painting should be programmed for accomplishment during a scheduled entry into a depot level facility for PDM, other modif ication/maintenance requirements, or whenever corrosion is evident, whichever occurs f irst. The evidence of corrosion in any case shall mean the point at which corrosion would cease to be controlled in accordance with criteria of techical orders 11-691, and/or the system peculiar (-23, etc.) technical orders. Table III (T.O. 00-25-4) aircraf t will be painted by using organizations in accordance with technical orders 1-1-8, and 42A-1-1. (1) Sectionalized painting of aircraf t. To minimize the contrast between new coatings and aged or bleached topcoat f inishes, individual aircraf t may have sectionalized painting for maintenance purposes. The sections are def ined as major sections of the aircraf t such as wings, nacelles, stabilizers, rudders, empennage or other portions as from one major assembly joint to another. This may also be applied to single panels of metal between skin joints, doors, control surfaces and access panels as applicable. The criteria for aircraf t in paragraph 2-2a. will be used to determine requirements for sectionalized painting. Sectionalized painting will be accomplished in lieu of spot maintenance painting when the criteria of paragraph 2-2a. is met. The paint material used must be of the same type as the adjacent serviceable areas. Smaller portions of deteriorated paint (less than that which qualif ies for sectionalized painting), must be touched up with the conventional spot or strip pattern.


TO 1-1-4

.

.

NOTE Under no circumstances will total section/panel areas, which meet the foregoing sectionalizing criteria, be considered as cumulative requirements for total aircraf t repaint. Total repaint criteria will apply based upon the total aircraf t assessment before the sectionalized concept is applied. In order to realize the maximum benef its of corrosion protection afforded by painting, it is necessary to achieve proper adhesion of the paint to the metal surfaces or existing coatings on which applied. In this regard, it is MANDATORY that all steps of surface preparation and application of coating systems, as specif ied in T.O. 1-1-8, be strictly followed.

2-3. AIR FORCE STANDARD EXTERIOR FINISHES. (See Appendix B.) Aliphatic Polyurethane coating specif ication MIL-C-83286, and MIL-C85285 (Hi-SOLID) coating are the standard Air Force exterior f inish coating for all aircraf t. These coatings will be specif ied or used in lieu of specif ication MIL-L-19537, MIL-L-19538, MIL-C-81352 and any other specif ications for painting or ref inishing of all aircraf t. The following criteria will apply in converting to the Aliphatic Polyurethane coating.

.

.

NOTE The F-111A/D/E/F, FB-111A and EF111A are exempt from the Air Force standard exterior f inish. The standard exterior f inish for the above aircraf t will be expoxy primer, MIL-P23377, and topcoat, acrylic lacquer, MIL-L-81352. All U.S. Air Force Museum managed aircraf t and aerospace equipment assets (EXHIBITS) are exempt from the Air Force standard exterior f inishes. The standard exterior f inish for museum exhibits/static displays shall be whatever is environmentally friendly and approved for use by the installation bioenvironmental engineers. Appropriate primers compatible with the f inish coat will be used. Color, markings and insignia (CMI) will be approved by the U.S. Air Force Museum.

a. Authorized conversions shall be limited to aircraf t or aerospace equipment normally scheduled for complete repainting only.

b. The polyurethane paint will not be specif ied or used to touch up other types of paint such as acrylic nitrocellulose specif ication MIL-L-19537, MIL-L-19538, etc. c. Conversion will be limited to aircraf t that actually needs painting or complete repainting due to deterioration of existing paint f inish. Painting for the sole purpose of converting to the polyurethane coating is not approved. (See paragraph 2-2.) 2-4. EXTERIOR FINISH IDENTIFICATION CODES. Instructions for the application of required code markings depicting the coating system applied to overall aircraf t exteriors is contained in Appendix A, this technical order. 2-5. SPECIAL PURPOSE EXTERIOR SOLAR RESISTANT FINISHES. For the purpose of this technical order, solar resistant f inish is def ined as a white cap painted on the top surface to reduce the aircraf t interior temperature. The solar resistant f inish is authorized only for those aircraf t used primarily as personnel carriers or that routinely carry heat sensitive equipment as part of their mission. In either case or for special purpose aircraf t, authorization must be provided by the major command and be ref lected in the major command regulation. a. Conf iguration. Normally, the solar resistant f inish on the top surface of the fuselage shall be separated from the lower adjacent f inish by a three inch blue stripe. For small aircraf t equal to and smaller than T-39 aircraf t, use a one and onehalf inch blue separation stripe, color No. 15044. The upper edge of the stripe shall extend parallel to the fuselage reference line from a point approximately tangent to the lowermost edge of the pilot’s compartment windows af t to inf inity. Aircraf t painted with solar resistant f inish shall have the vertical tail painted white also. It is permitted to break the continuity of the straight line in the extreme af t section for appearance purposes. b. Color Specif ication. The authorized solar resistant paint system is MIL-C-83286/MIL-C85285 color, white, No. 17925 for the top of the fuselage and color, blue, No. 15044 for the separation stripe, or if the specif ic aircraf t is authorized for a system other than the Aliphatic Polyurethane system then the solar resistant f inishes shall be compatible with that applied. NOTE Unless otherwise specif ically authorized in this technical order, no marking or lettering will be applied on the white solar resistant f inish on the aircraf t fuselage.

2-6. EXHAUST, GUN AND ROCKET GAS/ BLAST AREAS. Polyurethane coating system, MIL-C-83286/MIL-C-85285 will be used for the protection of surface areas exposed to engine exhaust, gun and rocket gas/blast areas. a. Exhaust Track Areas. Exhaust track areas will normally be painted black, color No. 17038. However, Grey, color No. 16473 or White, color No. 17925, may be used when replacing the paint in the affected area and where necessary to retain the original aircraf t color scheme. b. Gun and Rocket Blast Areas. Gun and rocket blast areas will not require a special color designation other than that of the color of the adjacent aircraf t exterior f inish. Specif ic areas requiring such coatings will be as prescribed by the respective System Program Director (SPD). 2-7. THERMAL REFLECTIVE FINISH. All USAF aircraf t programmed to participate in thermonuclear tests normally shall be protected with a thermal ref lective f inish system to include a top coating of polyurethane Specif ication MIL-C-83286/ MIL-C-85825, White, color No. 17925. The required paint scheme will be specif ied by type and model aircraf t by WR-ALC. Application instructions are included in TO 1-1-8. Authorization for applying thermal ref lecting f inishes will be obtained from WR-ALC/LKJTC. 2-8. SALT WATER, SALT AIR AND POLLUTED AIR. Adequate corrosion resistance from salt water spray, salt heavy atmosphere and various air pollutants is provided by the standard exterior f inish. Aliphatic Polyurethane, MIL-C-83286/MIL-C85285. 2-9. ANTI-GLARE FINISHES. Aircraf t surfaces (such as nose section and cowling) which ref lect an objectionable glare to the pilot and crew shall be f inished with Aliphatic Polyurethane lusterless, MIL-C-83286/MIL-C-85285, color No. 37038, as applicable. 2-10.

TO 1-1-4

U.S. AIR FORCE, referred to in paragraph 3-2 will be removed from these aircraf t. (See appendix C.) 4-4. ORGANIZATION INSIGNIA OR EMBLEMS. All proposed organizational emblems or insignia (Major Command, Wing, Group or Squadron) for use on aircraf t or missiles, must meet the criteria of AFR 900-3 and be approved in accordance with the provisions of that document. a. Approved organizational emblems or insignia may be placed on non-camouf laged aircraf t. The Major Command Headquarters shall be the approving authority for the use of organization emblems on its aircraf t and the precise location on the vehicle at which the emblem will be installed. The use and location of the emblem will be contained in the pertinent major command regulation. b. In all cases, approved organization emblems to be installed on aircraf t shall not exceed 2/3 the size of the fuselage national star insignia. Further, standard Air Force markings will not be altered or relocated to accommodate organizational emblems. Emblem location and dimensions will be the same for similar aircraf t types and models. Whenever an aircraf t is permanently transferred for active service, the transferring unit will remove its organizational emblems prior to transfer. Aircraf t being deactivated or processed for storage may be exempted from the requirement to remove organizational emblems. 4-5. OUTSTANDING UNIT AWARD MARKINGS. A replica of the ‘‘Outstanding Unit Award’’ ribbon earned by an organization may be installed on the sides of the aircraf t fuselage in a suitable location designated by the applicable major air command headquarters. Criteria regarding size and location as stated in paragraph 4-4 above is applicable except that the length of the marking shall not exceed 12 inches and the length to width ratio will be maintained at 4 to 1, i.e. 12 inches × 3 inches, etc. 4-6. CREW MARKINGS. The names of pilot, crew chief or other members of the f light/ground crew may be applied to the exterior of the camouf laged or non-camouf laged aircraf t at the option of the major command. a. Generally, the names will be applied to the lef t side of the fuselage, (right side for helicopters) near the pilot’s window and clearly visible from ground level. On large aircraf t such as C-130, C135, C-141, C-5, etc. where the names will not be clearly visible from ground level, the names may be placed adjacent to the forward crew/passenger entrance door, when approved by the major command.

b. Vertical/block lettering (see f igure A-4), not higher than two inches, shall be used for the markings. On non-camouf laged aircraf t, letters shall be yellow, color No. 13538, and on camouf laged aircraf t paint letters in contracting camouf lage color, on a background block only as large as needed to accommodate the information, 6 inches to 24 inches high, consistent with size of aircraf t. If the background is presently black, the background block is not required. If the background is gray, the background block is not required, and the letters will be black, No. 37038. Background sizes and lettering should be standardized thoughout the unit. c. Markings may contain f irst names or initials and last names. Examples of markings are as follows: PILOT: L/Col. W.B. JONES CREW CHIEF: SSGT A. B. JOHNSON or CREW CHIEF: SSGT ALFRED B. JOHNSON or CREW CHIEF SSGT ALFRED B. JOHNSON 4-7. LOCAL STATION NUMBERS AND MARKINGS FOR AIRCRAFT. Where large numbers of aircraf t are assigned to a station, or duplication of last three digits of aircraf t serial numbers occurs on such a station, or where visibility at a station is extremely poor due to snow or dust conditions, the Major Command may request and the System Program Director (SPD) authorize the application of local ‘‘Station Numbers’’ as an aid to maintenance and operational control a. Station Numbers. The ‘‘Station Numbers’’ will be located on the nose section of f ixed wing aircraf t and on def lector shields or other forward component of helicopters, as designated by the particular SPD. Numerals will not be more than eight inches in height and proportionate to the aircraf t size and height. The ‘‘Station Numbers’’ will be removed prior to transfer. b. Markings. Where large quantities of a similar type of aircraf t are assigned to a station in the CONUS, Major commands may authorize a distinguishing colored horizontal stripe for application on both sides of the topmost portion of the vertical f in. A different color may be assigned each unit owning such aircraf t. These stripes will be appropriately removed by the installing organization when the aircraf t is to be transferred.


TO 1-1-4

NOTE The above horizontal stripes will not be applied over apex antenna on vertical stabilizers, the painting of which would interfere with system operation. In such cases the six inch stripe will be applied immediately below the antenna on both sides of the vertical stabilizer. 4-8. AIR NATIONAL GUARD (ANG) AIRCRAFT. USAF exterior f inishes, insignia and markings are applicable to ANG aircraf t. In addition to standard USAF markings, ANG aircraf t may be further marked with the state name, squadron insignia, and state insignia, including the ANG Minuteman decal in accordance with (IAW) ANGR 66-34 when approved. These may be obtained by each state IAW with instructions contained in Section I of this technical order. NOTE States desiring to aff ix markings and/ or insignia similar to those of their gaining Commands will obtain approval from their respective gaining Commands prior to marking aircraf t. 4-9. USAF AIRCRAFT SUPPLIED UNDER MAP. All USAF aircraf t that are to be reconditioned or rehabilitated for the Military Assistance Program (MAP) will be protected from corrosion by painting with standard Air Force material prior to delivery. a. When a recipient country accepts delivery of Grant Aid aircraf t in the CONUS and arranges for ferrying the aircraf t with its own crew or agents, the title passes at that time to the recipient country, therefore, all USAF Insignia and markings will be removed prior to transfer. The recipient country will arrange to aff ix its insignia and markings on the aircraf t prior to operation. b. When Grant Aid aircraf t are delivered by USAF pilots or by U.S. civilian or foreign national pilots under operation control of the U.S. Air Force, title will remain with the U.S. Government until the aircraf t are delivered in the recipient country. Therefore, upon departure from the CONUS the aircraf t will display temporarily installed USAF marking and will be cleared as USAF Military Aircraf t. Temporary paint, shall be used for these markings. The temporary paint should be readily removable without harming the permanent f inish. c. It is the responsibility of the Chief of the Air Force Section of the MAAG, or appropriate military mission, to assure that USA insignia and markings are promptly removed upon arrival of the aircraf t in the recipient country. In cases where the recipient

country does not have the capability to install its insignia and markings, arrangements will be made with the appropriate AFMC agency or System Program Director (SPD) to have this done during aircraf t deprocessing. d. Aircraf t to be delivered in crates or as deck loads on carriers shall have all USAF insignia and markings removed prior to processing for shipment. 4-10. AIRCRAFT PROPELLER MARKINGS. All Air Force Aircraf t propeller blade tips will normally be painted yellow. Measured from the tip of the blade toward the propeller hub, the width of the painted tip stripe will be four inches for propellers less than 15 feet in diameter. The blade tip stripe for propellers with diameters of 15 feet or larger will be six inches. Lusterless, aliphatic Polyurethane MIL-C-83286/MIL-C-85285 or Lacquer, Specif ication MIL-L-19538 Yellow, color No. 33538, will be used for this application. The only authorized exceptions to the above specif ied provisions are contained in the following paragraphs. a. Propeller tips may be marked with a yellow light ref lective liquid, aerosol spray type, when it is necessary to def ine the path of the propeller track in the dark. b. Aircraf t, whose primary mission is the transportations of VIPs, are authorized to have red, white, and blue propeller tips. Approval authority for designating these aircraf t is limited to major commands and will not be delegated to any lower level of command. Indiscriminate approval of these markings will defeat the intent of this directive and therefore will not be condoned. The occasional use of aircraf t to transport VIPs is not suff icient justif ication for the multi-colored propeller tips. (1) Red, white, and blue propeller tips are authorized for the following aircraf t: (a)

Air Attache

(b)

Military Assistance Advisory Group

(c)

USAF Missions

(d)

89th Airlif t Wing

(MAAG)

(2) When authorized, the red, white, and blue stripes will be painted in that order on each blade, from the blade tip toward the hub. (a) For aircraf t propellers less than 15 feet in diameter, each stripe will be one and onehalf inches wide. (b) For aircraf t propellers 15 feet or more in diameter, each stripe will be two inches wide.

NOTE Propellers shall be checked for balance af ter complete f inishing and required markings have been applied. Minor touchup is authorized between overhaul periods. However, care shall be taken to insure that a proportionate quantity of paint is applied on each blade. 4-11. HELICOPTER ROTOR BLADE MARKINGS. Classif ication numbers shall be stenciled on the main rotor blades of all helicopters by facilities authorized to balance or alter the blades. Three numbers, in decimal form, shall be utilized; the f irst shall be the weight of the blade in pounds; the second number shall ref lect the distance in inches from the center of rotation to the center of gravity of the blade; the third number shall be the distance in inches from the leading edge of the blade to the center of gravity of the blade chord-wise. EXAMPLE: 57.2-75.5-5.2, indicates that the blade has a weight of 57.2 pounds, with the center of gravity 75.5 inches from the center of rotation, and the chord-wise center of gravity is 5.2 inches from the lead edge of the blade. Stenciling, approximately 3/ 4 inch in height, shall be accomplished with a paint or dope which contrasts well with the color of the blade. The preceding information is to be stenciled on the f lat surface of the ground side of each blade at the inboard or butt end of main rotor blade. NOTE The color bands installed by the contractor on the tip of main rotor blades shall be maintained along with matching colors on the housing. Different colors are required on the blades for tracking as well as matching purposes. 4-12. TAIL ROTOR BLADE MARKING. To promote ground safety, all helicopter tail rotor blades, except Sikorsky blades utilizing ‘‘B’’ and ‘‘B’’ bonding or having vinyl plastic tape installed, shall be marked with a topcoat of aliphatic Polyurethane specif ication MIL-C-83286/MIL-C-85285 or lacquer, Specif ication MIL-L-19538 with a compalible primer coat as follows:

d. Paint the remaining 6-inches of the tail rotor blade with red color No. 31136.

. .

NOTE Af ter these markings to the tail rotor blades of UH-1 helicopters, the use of a Strobex balancer will be used to rebalance blades. Identifying color bands painted on the tail rotor blade housing by the contractor shall be maintained and an identifying dot, approximately 1/2 inch in diameter, of the same color as appears on the housing shall be painted on the butt end of the blade for matching purposes.

4-13. INSTALLATION OF PLACARDS IN AIRCRAFT. Accomplish installation of aircraf t cockpit placards by coating the front and back of the placard with a clear coat of aliphatic Polyurethane specif ication MIL-C-83286 or MIL-C-85285. 4-14. IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS FOR JETTISONABLE AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS. Color of the aliphatic Polyurethane specif ication MIL-C83286 or MIL-C-85285 used to stencil numbers and letters on jettisonable aircraf t components will be dependent upon the color that provides the greatest contrast with the surrounding area and in accordance with Section II, this technical order. The following components require identif ication. a. Canopies. Jettisonable aircraf t canopies shall have the aircraf t radio call number stenciled on the outside or inside of the canopy frame on the lef t hand side 6 inches from the forward end, using 1 inch high numbers provided suff icient space is available. If suff icient space is not available to accommodate 1 inch high numbers, they will be as large as space permits.

b. Apply a 6-inch band of red color No. 31136, to the tail rotor tip followed by a six inch band of insignia white color No. 37925 and another 6-inch band of red color No. 31136.

b. Ejection Seats. All aircraf t equipped with ejection seats shall have the aircraf t radio call number stenciled on the front side of the seat back near the top edge or on the lef t side near the top edge. Whenever aircraf t are equipped with more than one seat, each shall be further identif ied according to that used by the respective crew members, i.e. pilot, co-pilot, EWO, NAV, RAD-NAV and GUNNER. These titles shall be applied directly below the radio call number. All the above listed markings shall be applied utilizing one inch high numbers and letters. Position markings so as to avoid contact with parachute gear.

c. Following the second band of red color No. 31136, apply a band of black color No. 37038, to within 6-inches of the hub.

The number will be stenciled on both sides and as near the center as possible using one inch high numbers. This does not apply to jettisonable seats, canopies or components that are not subject to frequent changes. 4-15. MARKING OF EMERGENCY LIGHTING (FLASHLIGHT) - CARGO AND TRANSPORT TYPE AIRCRAFT. a. Cargo and transport type aircraf t which have f lashlights located adjacent to each natural or emergency exit as an emergency lighting system will have a band of phosphorescent paint, Federal Specif ication TT-P-54, or a water-based coating color No. 13538 or a ref lection tape (IND-STD ASTM D4956), approximately 1/2 inch wide applied around the base of the f lashlight mounting. This will provide a rectangular frame outlining the light. The paint may be applied to the mounting f langes along the sides of the light holder if the installation is such that the paint cannot be applied to the surface on which the light mounting is installed. NOTE 3M Retroref lective and Photoluminescent sign materials may be used as substitute materials for paint meeting specif ication TT-P-54 or tape meeting specif ication ASTM D4956. b. Allow the phosphorescent paint to dry approximately 8 hours, then apply a protective coat of varnish, Federal Specif ication TT-V-109, or clear coat of a aliphatic Polyurethane specif ication MILC-83286 or MIL-C-85285 over it. This will lengthen the useful life of the paint. 4-16. MARKING FOR WALKWAYS AND HONEYCOMB PANELS. a. Walkways and Steps. In cases where they do not contrast in color with adjacent areas, walkway areas shall be bounded by a camouf lage/f lat black color No. 37038 line for a light background or a camouf lage/f lat white color No. 37925 line for a dark background, 1/2 inch wide, and marked with word ‘‘WALKWAY’’ at suff iciently frequent intervals to indicate the walkway area. Steps shall be suitably indicated at all points on the aircraf t. b. Honeycomb Panels On Airplanes. Honeycomb panels (thin skin) for wing upper surfaces shall be distinctly marked by a 1-1/2 inch wide stripe of hash marks; each hash mark shall be 2 inches long, measured along the stripe with 2 inches between marks. The marks shall slope 45 degrees. The marks shall be painted on the material conforming to that to which applied in yellow, color No. 13538. 4-17. MARKINGS FOR DRONES. Drones are any remotely controlled, recoverable, pilotless aircraf t developed or modif ied to perform the mission

SECTION V STANDARD MARKINGS, FINISHES, AND INSIGNIA FOR CAMOUFLAGED USAF AIRCRAFT 5-1. PURPOSE OF CAMOUFLAGE. Camouf lage is used for purposes of deception, to conceal materiel from undesired observation, or to confuse and mislead observers as to identity, extent, number, etc. Pattern camouf lage is applied to an aircraf t to lessen probability of detection visually or photographically, in f light or on the ground. Pattern camouf laging is based on optical principles that dictate certain non-ref lective colors, color conf igurations and color proportions. Arbitrary applications of markings and color schemes other than those prescribed herein will defeat the purpose of camouf lage and are not condoned. TO 1-1-8 provides instructions for surface preparation and application of coating materials for camouf laging aircraf t. 5-2.

CAMOUFLAGE AUTHORITY.

a. Authority to camouf lage aircraf t will be granted only by Headquarters USAF. Major commands will forward requests to camouf lage aircraf t to Headquarters USAF, LGMY/XOOT/RDPN. b. The management of Headquarters USAF approved aircraf t camouf lage programs resides at WR-ALC. All matters dealing with the adequacy of approved aircraf t camouf lage color schemes, effectiveness, techniques or principles shall be forwarded to WR-ALC/LKJTC for necessary action. Two sets of exterior service drawings showing proposed camouf laged color schemes must accompany the aircraf t color scheme change request with a full justif ication. (See paragraphs 3-1 and 4-20.) c. The application or removal of aircraf t camouf lage coatings under emergency conditions, whereby the need for the required action is apparent, may be directed by the local commander. However, at the earliest opportunity, WR-ALC and Headquarters USAF (LGMY/XOOT) will be informed of the action taken and reason therefore. 5-3. AIRCRAFT CAMOUFLAGE MATERIALS. The standard materials for the camouf lage coating system and insignia/marking application is Aliphatic Polyurethane camouf lage (lusterless) MILC-83286/MIL-C-85285. Decals may be used in lieu of paint for insignia and markings provided that they are made of a non-ref lective decal material (see paragraph 3-3). Decals shall not be used with ‘‘gunship quality’’ schemes.

5-4. CAMOUFLAGE PATTERNS. Approved weapon system/camouf lage pattern combinations are illustrated in appendix D. a. Aircraf t Surfaces. The camouf lage patterns shall be applied in accordance with the specif ic aircraf t illustrations. The illustrations are intended as guides. Minor variations in pattern are acceptable; however, care should be taken that proportion and balance of the different colors are approximately the same as the illustrations. Boundaries between colors shall be irregular as illustrated and fade into each other. Avoid sharp lines between colors. b. Bottom Surfaces. Most camouf laged aircraf t use a singular color on the underside of the fuselage, wings, horizontal stabilizer, and control surfaces as designed for the particular weapon system. The bottom color shall be brought up the sides of the fuselage to give the approximate side view appearance in accordance with the application illustration. The line between the underbelly color and the upper surface pattern shall be an irregular, indistinct, coutershaded area. A sharp line and any regular repeating pattern such as a scallop will raise the risk of detection and compromise the overall camouf lage effect. On low wing aircraf t, the bottom color on the fuselage is brought into the wing root to meet the bottom color under the wing. c. External Components. Engine nacelles, external tanks, pods and other mounted equipment shall be camouf lage painted to agree with the aircraf t scheme. Unless otherwise specif ied, the lower third of the surface shall be the same as the bottom color for the aircraf t and the upper surfaces shall be pattern painted or painted a designated solid color as approved for the weapon system. With appropriate approvals, the entire surface of this equipment and pylons may be all painted one uniform color to improve component interchangeability on different aircraf t or on different positions on the same aircraf t. The extent to which this can be accomplished and the choice of color shall be in accordance with the system or item technical order when it involves a surface which is not covered or illustrated in this general manual. d. Radomes, Antennae, and Antenna Covers. Antennae shall be treated in accordance with the System Program Director. Radomes and antenna covers should be oversprayed with the light coat of

5-1


TO 1-1-4

camouf lage f inish to make the camouf lage effort complete unless the system manager determines that the paint deters operational capabilities and prohibits its use. e. Walkways. Walkway borders shall be applied to the upper surfaces of camouf laged aircraf t in black, color No. 37038. f. Gunship Quality Paint Systems. The European I camouf lage scheme and certain other weapon system-camouf lage scheme combinations require the use of ‘‘gunship quality’’ paint. Gunship quality paint is special formulation polyurethane paint that is available in several camouf lage color numbers. It meets physical requirements of MIL-C83286 and MIL-C-85825, and certain additional requirements for gloss and sheen not presently standard under MIL-C-83286/MIL-C-85285. At the present time, this is a controlled source paint. The authorized sources are DeSoto, Inc Des Plaines IL and Berkley CA, Def t Chemical Coating, Irvine CA and Crown Metro, Greenville SC. Always be certain that the paint vendor or immediate supply activity knows when you require gunship quality and that the paint is identif ied on the Qualif ied Product List. Standard camouf lage in the same color numbers does not provide the required performance. 5-5. INSIGNIA AND MARKINGS. The following exceptions to standard USAF insignia and markings as listed in Section III are applicable to USAF camouf laged aircraf t. a. U.S. Air Force Markings. The ‘‘U.S. AIR FORCE’’ marking on the forward fuselage is not required. b. National Star Insignia. The National Star Insignia shall be applied to the top of the lef t wing, the bottom of the right wing and on both sides of the fuselage in a miniaturized conf iguration. The standard design is illustrated in f igure A-1. c. USAF and Radio Call Number Marking. The ‘‘USAF’’ marking shall not be applied to the wings; but, shall be added immediately before the radio call number on the vertical f in if space is available. Otherwise, place directly over the radio call number. The radio call number and ‘‘USAF’’ marking shall be of a miniaturized conf iguration, unless the aircraf t has been approved for distinctive unit aircraf t markings as outlined in paragraph 5-9. d. Location and size of miniaturized insignia and markings.

(b) External markings identifying escape hatches, doors, exits and emergency entry or exits should be painted in contracting gunship quality color. (See paragraphs 6-15 through 6-17 which apply to standard camouf laged and uncamouf laged aircraf t.)

b. Instructions for the design, dimensions and location of the distinctive unit aircraf t identif ication codes are contained in Appendix D.

(c) Camouf lage schemes in the SEA conf iguration use white markings on black backgrounds except with gunship quality which shall use contrasting gunship quality color. 5-6. INSTRUCTIONAL MARKINGS. Instructional type markings for servicing, ground handling, etc., shall be kept to the minimum required by the System Program Director (SPD) to be consistent with safety, performance and maintenance of the aircraf t. 5-7. SQUADRON AND ORGANIZATIONAL MARKINGS. Squadron and organizational markings may be used on camouf laged aircraf t. Use the same criteria for the development of size as is used on noncamouf laged aircraf t. The width of the horizontal stripes applied to the upper extremity of the vertical stabilizers will be six inches. 5-8. ARMAMENT LOADS PLACARD. Placards indicating armament loads, when required, should be appropriately applied on camouf laged aircraf t in accordance with SPD/MAJCOM instructions. (See paragraph 6-18, f igures E-8 and E-9.) 5-9. DISTINCTIVE UNIT AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS. Distinctive unit aircraf t markings may be applied to vertical f ins of camouf laged combat support aircraf t to allow aircrews to readily identify aircraf t to their own unit or to other friendly units. The master coding system to be utilized is USAF wide to avoid code duplication among units. HQ ACC has been designated by Hq USAF as the Air Force single manager for the assignment of unit aircraf t identif ication markings. a. Essentially, the codes consist of: (1) two alphabetic letters, (2) two numerical digits or (3) an alphabetic letter and a numerical digit. Using major commands may authorize the use of these identif ication markings but shall receive the approved coding to be used from HQ ACC. When the codes are no longer required, the respective major command shall appropriately notify AAC. NOTE In no instances will these unit identif ication codes be installed or removed without the expressed knowledge and approval of AAC. Similarly, only AAC

c. Aircraf t tail numbers (identif ied as serial number in applicable part of Appendix D) will consist of the f irst two and last three digits of the original serial number. When duplicate last three digits exist among aircraf t with the same distinctive unit aircraf t identif ication designator, the last four digits of the aircraf t serial number shall be used. This number serves as the radio call number for aircraf t with distinctive unit markings. 5-10. SPECIAL OPERATING FORCE (SOF) AIRCRAFT. The gray paint f inish (Aliphatic Polyurethane MIL-C-83286/MIL-C-85285, color No. 16473) with standard Air Force markings is the normal exterior paint conf iguration for SOF aircraf t. However, inasmuch as the SOF Aircraf t are subject to various mission assignments, in different geographical locations and under varying circumstances, the specif ic mission will dictate the aircraf t exterior conf iguration required for the affected aircraf t. In all instances, changes in paint conf igurations of these aircraf t will be accomplished only as a result of f irm mission requirements and not for reasons of esthetics or personal preference. a. Some major reasons which may require changes in the exterior paint conf iguration of SOF aircraf t are: (1) Need for ground-to-air or air-to-air camouf lage or conspicuity. (2) Need for air-to-ground or ground-to ground camouf lage or conspicuity. (3)

National image or national interest.

(4)

Discrete aircraf t employment.

b. Normally, request for approval of proposed changes to exterior paint conf igurations for SOF aircraf t not engaged in combat operations shall be forwarded by the major command to USAF/LGMY/ XOOT. c. Whenever conditions warrant, the major command may authorize the application of needed exterior paint conf igurations for SOF aircraf t engaged in combat operations without prior approval or higher authority. Whenever possible, Air Force standard materials will be used. All changes to SOF aircraf t conf igurations shall be promptly reported to WR-ALC/LKJTC and to HQ USAF/LGMY and XOOT accompanied by appropriate descriptive 8″ × 10″ photograph and drawings on

5-3

NOTE International Standardization Agreement. Certain provisions of this section are subject to international standardization agreements and must not be changed except under emergency conditions without prior coordination with the Air Standardization Coordinating Committee (see ASCC Air Standard 17/3, STANAG 3104 and SEASTAG 3104). Therefore, all requests for changes in existing markings or supplemental markings will be submitted to HQ WR-ALC, Attn: LKJTC. This section contains the identif ication requirements of MIL-STD-1247 as applicable to aircraf t. GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF LINES.

a. Cold Lines - Lines in which the temperature of the f lowing medium is below minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit. b. Hot Lines - Lines on which the surface temperature ranges from 200 to 325 Fahrenheit. c. Instrument Air - Air used in conjunction with pressure operate instruments. d. Pneumatic - Air under pressure other than instrument air.

e. Compressed Gas - Any gaseous substance under pressure, other than air, not requiring other functional identif ication. 7-3. GENERAL MARKING OF LINES. Identify each line as to function, content, hazard and direction of f low, as applicable. a. Function - is identif ied by use of words, colors and symbols. Coded tapes will normally be used for airborne lines, except that small tags of some light weight non-corrosive metal such as aluminum alloy, stamped with contents, pressure and direction of f low, may be used on airborne cold lines. NOTE Symbols and colors are not required on lines where identif ication is accomplished with aluminum alloy tag. b. Content - is identif ied by use of lettering and symbols. c. Hazard - is identif ied by lettering and/or symbol. d. Direction of f low - is identif ied by arrow. Use two-headed arrow for reversible f low. e. Pressure - is identif ied by numerals and lettering, indicating pounds per square inch (PSI). 7-4. METHOD USED FOR IDENTIFICATION OF LINES. a. Tape - Use color coded tape conforming to Specif ication MIL-T-9906 for identifying function of all lines less than four inches in diameter including hot lines where line surface temperatures do not exceed 325o Fahrenheit. Tapes may also be used in an oily environment provided adhesion can be maintained. Do not use tape in engine compartment where there is a possibility of tape being drawn into engine intake. Use Specif ication L-T101, A-A-113 or L-T-99 tapes for further identif ication of lines. When applying tape to lines, the tape shall completely encircle the line. Thoroughly clean the portion of the line where the tape is to be applied. Place taped code on both ends of line. Insure that identif ication is visible in each compartment. Place identif ication tape immediately adjacent to all operating accessories such as valves, regulators, strainers, vents, etc.

7-1


TO 1-1-4

NOTE Cold lines may be identif ied by use of tape, provided adhesion can be maintained at cryogenic temperatures and can be read from point of operation.

(c) Lines over 10 inches diameter lettering height 3-1/2 inches.

b. Tags - Tags will not normally be used except for lines in an oily environment, hot lines exceeding 325o Fahrenheit and cold lines. Tags will be of self locking design as illustrated in Appendix F. Fabricate tags from aluminum alloy. Stamp to show function and contents (pressure, direction of f low, primary hazard, as applicable). Color coding is not required on aluminum tags. Locate metal tags adjacent to operating accessories, making certain they will not interfere with the operation of the accessory.

(4) Word Order - The words denoting function will appear f irst in the printed identif ication. The content description will appear immediately below the statement of function. Following below these, if applicable, will be the operating pressure, the painted arrow indicating direction of f low and the words denoting the hazard. Vertical spacing shall be such that all wording and f low symbols are evenly spaced from top to bottom of the viewing area.

c. Paint conforming to Specif ication TT-E-489, or MIL-C-83286/MIL-C-85285 shall be used to identify lines in engine compartments where there is a possibility of tapes being drawn into engine intakes. Paint lines larger than four inches in diameter, except that cold lines, hot lines and lines in an oily environment, shall conform to the following requirements. (1) Lines will be color coded with paint in accordance with Appendix F. Painted code bands will be located adjacent to operating accessories, function with branch lines and where lines pass through bulkheads. (2) Stencils are suitable for painting the letters to identify the specif ic function and contents (working pressure, primary hazard, and direction of f low arrow, as applicable). Geometric symbols are not required where identif ication is accomplished with paints. Use black lettering on white background. (3)

Size of painted lettering and arrow.

(a) Lines four to eight inches diameter lettering height 1-1/4 inches. (b) Lines eight to 10 inches diameter lettering height 2-1/2 inches.

NATIONAL STAR INSIGNIA.

a. Dimensions. (Figure A-1.) The dimensions of the insignia shall be determined by the diameter of the circumscribed circle which is standardized in multiples of 5 inches. (1) The width of each end of the rectangle shall equal 1/2 the radius of the circle; the length shall equal 1 radius (excluding border). (2) The width of the insignia - red stripe, horizontally centered in each end of the rectangle, shall equal 1/6 of the radius of the circle (excluding border). (3) The width of the insignia - blue border shall equal 1/8 the radius of the circle (excluding border). (4) Construction of the f ive pointed star may be accomplished by marking off f ive equidistant points on the circumscribed circle and connecting each point to the non-adjacent points. NOTE The insignia-blue border and insigniablue circle may be omitted when the National Star Insignia is applied on blue or black f inishes. CAUTION Sharp pointed, metal marking instruments (scribes) will not be used to lay out insignia and markings on USAF aircraf t. Use only Aircraf t Marking Pencil, MIL-P-83953. b. National Star Insignia on Aircraf t Wings. Each insignia will be positioned at a point inboard from each wing tip equal to 1/3 the distance from the wing tip to the wing-fuselage mating point. The border of the insignia will be tangent to the movable control surface cut-out. (1) The wing insignia may be moved in the minimum required distance to avoid structures which would alter the insignia pattern. However, symmetry will be maintained with the USAF marking on the opposite wing surface. (2) Normally, the wing insignia shall be positioned so that in normal f light attitude the top point of the star points forward and a line through the center of the insignia and the top star point is parallel to the direction of f light. (3) On swept wings or wings of variable sweep aircraf t, the National Star Insignia shall be positioned as illustrated in f igure A-2.

F-3. Designation of hazards. Hazardous materials or conditions shall be designated in black letters on white or metallic (silvery or chrome) background as specif ied below (see f igure F-1). Where such hazards result from working pressure only, and where the pressure is indicated in the identif ication, no further identif ication of hazard is necessary. Under conditions warranting special care over and above that required for the identif ied hazard, the skull and cross-bones symbol, illustrated in f igure F-3 shall be used. F-4. Hazards. Hazards shall be identif ied in accordance with above letter sizes shall be the same as those used for function within the same identif ication group, with a 1/32 inch vertical space between words comprising a set, i. e., a dual hazard, and a 1/4 inch space between sets (or between words if only a single hazard to indicated). Where tapes are used to identify function, identif ication of hazard may be accomplished with tape(s) of 1/2 inch minimum width. When painted or appearing on tags or bands the hazard shall be the last word(s) in the identif ication following the direction of f low arrow, if applicable. Hazards associated with various line contents shall be in accordance with primary and secondary warning designations as established in MIL-STD-101. However, for application under this technical manual words and abbreviations are to be substituted for colors to identify specif ic classes of hazards as indicated under ‘‘Identif ication Marking’’ below. To facilitate cross-referencing, MIL-STD-101 colors applicable to all hazards are indicated opposite the identif ication markings. Thus it will only be necessary to refer to the color shown in table II of MIL-STD101 for a particular content, then substitute applicable words or abbreviations. IDENTIFICATION MARKING
